Check out everything Destructoid did today
You’re all familiar with “Totaka’s Song,” right? The short melody by composer Kazumi Totaka that is hidden away inside an indefinite number of Nintendo games? A couple of weeks back, guitarist Kris Escobar made a short rock cover of the tune. Nothing major, just some light fun.
Today, Jayson Napolitano gives you five solid reasons why you must attend MAGFest, Chris Carter details the latest round of NSMB2 DLC, we list a few games overlooked in our end-of-year awards, and the world is gifted an awesome Majora’s Mask arrange album for surviving the Mayan apocalypse.
